Christine Hermanson
Chris has taught music students ages 3 through 87 in her private studio, at her own fine arts academy, and in public schools. She has also worked with students world-wide
through the interactive music instruction software and online courses she has developed. Her desire to find the best ways to develop music sight-reading skills led her to
purchase a computer and music theory software in 1980. Since then, she has been teaching teachers how to be more effective and efficient through the use of learning
technologies. For 17 years, Chris designed and coordinated the MTNA National Symposium on Technology in Music. She is the author of the Musicware Piano and PianoWorks MIDI
music teaching systems, the Master Musician Music Literacy Curriculum, and the MTNA Guide to Music Instruction Software--1st and 2nd editions. In 2006, she launched
MusicLearningCommunity.com, a website that provides hundreds of learning games for music theory and aural skills that students play from the studio, school and at home.

"A tremendous hit! You have captured such a refreshing and wholesome tone to these games and learning activities. They are a delight to the eye, the sounds are splendid, the pedagogy is excellent, three cheers – and then some!!"

"… once people play these games, they're HOOKED! And knowing that teachers will be able to cross-reference the games with their method of choice makes them tremendously appealing."
